            Bug ID: 310694
          Severity: normal
           Version: 4.9.3
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Kmail thinks it is offline, switching online as
                    offered does not work
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: foss at christian-reiner.info
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kmail2

Sometimes KMail2 thinks it is offline, after startup when network is missing or
during a session when internet connection is lost. Fine so far. 
KMail2 shows this message inside the main area: 
"KMail is currently in offline mode. Click here to go online . . ."
Klicking the "here" to do so never changes anything. 

When in these cases I use akonadiconsole to toggle the configured imap account
online this works without a problem (1-2 secs) and also KMail2 then picks up
activity again without a problem. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start KDE session without internet connection
2. Start KMail2, it will show the message that it is "offline"
3. Click the "here" in the message as offered to toggle to "online"
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens. 

Using the workaround mentioned in the description works on all cases. 

Expected Results:  
KMail2 should toggle to "online". 
I guess that means the imap ressource in akonadi should be toggled to "online".
